Final Thought: Low Elo ADC's are the Supports BIT%H

CurS1VE··1 votes·790 views

Here's my opinion on most low Elo ADCs (not all) but basically they are all trash and probably the least reliable lane in all the game! I have played with a few who 1 trick or play only 2-3 Champs and I will admit how different those games are (so much better) and this brings me to my point here.

Because if you are basically lower ELO and you play ADC and you probably play all of them right? because you are so good! You can't consistently do what you role is meant for, this generally means that ADC's don't know how to play matchups, don't know when or how to freeze or push, don't know when they should do anything really, they are like little newborn babies basically.

Don't worry though, you little babyscrubs can count on your friendly Support to Carry you because you can't walk on your own. So hey, don't flame when I take a kill, I know how to use the Gold better; Don't tell me to not play Aggro, instead you should follow my lead! Don't run when we are way ahead!

See the problem with ADC's at lower Elo is many of them have the mentality that they can only fight when they are either 1) Way way ahead (levels/kills), 2) Have 3 items or 3) Have a lot of people with them

This is all just wrong, those are how to win easy fights for sure but to win and consistently carry you have to be able to fight when you are even or only at a slight advantage and that's why most of the adc's aren't really worth much in lower elo.

I'll play carry supports because I know at the end of the day I will have more of a impact in the mid game then you and honestly most of your supports who play carry supports prolly will have a similar impact in the game.

Basically if you are ADC in low elo you should be handing those kills over to the support if they locked a carry, cause let's be real here, even if you get 4 kills early you know you have no idea what to do with it lol

So in normals, you've got to accept that your ADC will sometimes be bronze, build badly, have low cs, deal 0 damage and die for free because they haven't read their own champ wiki

That also happens with low elo supports, though. If you play ADC in low elo, you can complain about supports being bad. If you play support in low elo then you can complain about ADC. Truth is you're both garbage, and recognising that is important

You need to recognise that in either role, you're relying on someone else to some extent. I would play jungle until gold because bot lane is a high variance coin toss, but if you lose the coin toss you can still be in the game and try to do something to win as jgl

im not complaining, i'm making a statement so that ADCs in low elo have better understanding of where they are in the food chain.

you read this as a complaint? hmm i would say you are missing basically everything here.

the variance is much higher for the support to carry early-mid just because how the champs (mages mostly) work. The fact is the champs that are carry supports are more adept at carrying for those 20-25min and the ADC's champs are not unless they have great CS and get kills and we know that's not happening.

Point is that the support will do more with that Gold for kills then the ADC. The Support items are more Efficient, the Damage for Carry supports spike earlier. I mean honestly there is rarely a reason for any ADC (Draven is the exception) to ever get kills because they are essentially worthless for 30minutes.

If I wasn't being clear in the original post. I'm am specifically saying that for the first 20minute-25minutes I as the support is generally speaking a better carry than the ADC and as such the ADC should accept that

Even in low elo you should try and funnel gold onto your ADC, because you can make that 20-25min mark come sooner for them if you do. If they're strong enough to feel confident in dealing damage then they will do their job well

Mage supports are really varied. If we're talking Brand and early Sorc Shoes, I say take that kill. You'll be able to pressure lane super hard and get way more out of that 300g for your ADC. If you're working on an item like GLP on Glacial Augment Neeko... I'd say leave the kill. You'll get your item eventually

It's like Zhonya's on Morg, I know I'll get there if I build it first item and I'll be useful when I get it, so it's not something I should set my ADC back for, so that I can get it sooner

Ultimately in norms though, just have fun. I just play the lane and if I get the kills it's not a big deal to me, but I won't intentionally take kills away from my ADC and then tell them they're lower on the food chain when they complain haha
